Mets Broadcasters Are Masculine

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 11:45:00 +1900

I want to say the Mets announcer in this clip with the serious cat fancy is Ron Darling, although it might be Keith Hernandez. Either way, they need to work on their inner monologue: Yeah, see, here’s the thing about being a man, specifically one involved in sports as a profession: You cannot like cats. And even if you do, you can’t make it public ...

Mets Owner Wilpon Says He `Screwed Up' How Randolph Was Fired By Danielle Sessa July 23 (Bloomberg) -- New York Mets owner Fred Wilpon said he mishandled last month's firing of manager Willie Randolph . General Manager Omar Minaya should have waited until the morning after the Mets beat the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim, California, on June 16 to dismiss Randolph instead of making it public at ...

Smith: For Santana, it's complete game or total collapse

This was the Mets' opportunity to make a statement against the Phillies. Johan Santana did his part, but when Jerry Manuel handed the game over to the Mets bullpen, what could have been the beautiful story turned ugly at Shea Stadium.

Colorado's trade price for Fuentes may be too high - The Denver Post

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 14:21:00 +1900

The Rockies are playing an intriguing game of poker with closer Brian Fuentes. The price is high, causing most interested teams the Tampa Bay Rays, the New York Yankees and Mets, the Boston Red Sox and the Florida Marlins to consider other options. Colorado wants a premium starting pitcher, a fair demand save for the fact the teams interested in Fuentes see him as a two-month rental, not a ...

Jose Reyes must read my blog

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 10:45:41 +1900

Yesterday, I told the Mets to burn this image into their memory. I told them to use it as motivation for their games against Philadelphia and beyond. Well after Jose Reyes hit his three run home run in the bottom of the sixth inning to put the Mets in the lead for good, Reyes showed his rebuttal to Jimmy Rollins' celebration.

Further Musings

With six days of baseball after the All-Star Break, the author had a lot of ideas, but none deep enough to fill an entire column. Here are some more random musings… Just saw The Dark Knight… It was one of the better movies I’ve seen in years. It totally lived up to the hype. In my opinion, it transcended the genre of “comic book movie.” It was an insanely intense crime movie, ...

Who’s Unluckier: Hamels or Santana?

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 10:37:14 +1900

Last night, the Phillies outsmarted the Mets and scored six runs in the top of the ninth inning against the New York Mets bullpen, which squandered an eight-inning, two-run performance from Johan Santana. That got me to thinking: Who is more unlucky, Cole Hamels or Johan Santana?

Things to Remember

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 22:15:23 +1900

1. Every run is sacred. Endy getting thrown out at home plate twice is not cute, no matter what the score is. It's leaving the door open for the wolf. 2. Don't be cavalier about who's closing. It's a tougher job than you think. I take back several weeks' worth of abuse, Mr. Wagner. 3. There is nothing wrong with Johan Santana that wouldn't be cured by his supporting cast not ...
